Question:
Clean water?

when my wife and I wash clothes we have noticed lately our white clothes are a bit dingy.Although the water looks clear,the shower head and other faucets around the house get crudded over with calcium colored like red mud. Our home is built on red clay, whatis this simpliest soloution to the problem? I have home depot coming next week about a whole house purification filter, but i really don't wanna put 3 grand into the solution.Any plumbers out there willing to share a tip? I live in Middle Ga too if any of you live around the area.

Answer: Please don't spend thousands on a softener or expensive reverse osmosis water filter. You can have a plumber install a simple sediment filter. If you want, you could install a sediment filter followed by a carbon filter if you have problems with an odd taste in your water. The least expensive but best brand is Cuno's AquaPure (http://www.aquapure.com/problem/)....

We routinely install them with great success. In fact, I have the same problem at my home. Typically the suspended solids are caused by your water provider's storage tank running a bit low. When the massive pumps turn on to refill the tank, it kicks up sediment on the bottom of the tank.
